If you think LLM Chatbots are experts in ... anything ... you have seriously misunderstood what they are.
They are arguably pretty good at making things that look like sentences.
The correlation between those sentence-like things and factual truth is, shall we say, less than robust?

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Last Friday we had our latest #RegRNALab outing at 'The Wizard's Chamber' Escape Room in Sydney 🪄 partly to welcome new PhD student, Adiela Gani.
It was fun and we managed to work together to find the answer before the time was up. I wished all projects in the lab were this straightforward !!!

Residents of Sydney have woken to yet another outbreak of appalling grammar in what authorities believe is the latest incident in a spate of anti-semantic attacks across the country.
Graffiti Vandal Splits Infinitive in Latest Anti-Semantic Attack — The Shovel
The grammatically confronting phrase was spray-painted by a vandal on the front of a local bookshop, of all places, leaving local syntax purists feeling threatened and afraid.

Dutton has welcomed Trump’s insane Gaza plans, even after Trump’s administration has weasel-word walked back the statements, implicitly acknowledging how ridiculous they are. I really hope Australians are taking note of Dutton’s Trumpism.

Perfect example of media inequality - as per my recent book. Industrial unrest is blamed on workers. Meanwhile, management is not called on to explain why they’ve not negotiated with workers in good faith. This is structural media bias - unions and workers always framed as villains, employer as hero
This unwanted editorial intro on the story about the Woolworths strike on Channel Costello is utter bullshite! It’s not the workers’ fault Woolworths has lost 50 mil, it’s the company that caused it. You reap what you sow, d1ckheads! #auspol
